I love that album so much that I have it as an oversized canvas having on my living room wall. Thank you Marvin. Thank you Ernie Barnes.

Arguably my favorite Marvin LP. Happy 40th, IWY.
Great album. And while Marvin Gaye would continue to record classics like 'Got To Give It Up' & 'Sexual Healing', I Want You was the last LP from Gaye that I liked every song.
I forgot to mention Leon Ware too in my post. Again this is my favourite Marvin album.
A superior version would substitute "Come live with me angel" with the unedited version from the deluxe edition.
Listening to the demo sessions now. Thanks for the post!
Please stop....................................hehehehehe hehe!
FORTY YEARS! WOW! Happy anniversary!
Leon Ware looks back at the albums conception

I never cared much for this album. Too much slow mellow bedroom music for my taste.
I went right over to the local Kmart and bought it immediately. I thought it was a masterpiece
[[the music and the cover art). Everyone thought is was just so cool, so mature. As a teenager we all were always trying to be "mature" LOL! I played this album all through the summer of '76 and on into the end of the year, I listened to it regularly. Some bright music memories with this one.
I like this album but I always wished for a little more "punch" in the mix. It sounds quite flat to me.
I have this LP from Argentina, I love these Spanish notes !
You're welcome Marv, reading these notes is a good way to learn Spanish.
It is an excellent album and is considered a bona fide classic among true Soul music lovers.
